School profile

Highcliffe School

We believe this atmosphere stems from the ethos passionately promoted by the Governors, school leaders and staff. Our Prospectus aims to give you an insight into the ethos which animates everything we do and how we do it.

Caring, Supporting and Encouraging

We believe young people learn best when they feel safe, supported, and encouraged. Our pastoral care system, alongside our approach to behaviour management and to Rewards, creates a ‘one big family’ feel among students and staff where negative behaviours are not accepted and positive attitudes and successes are celebrated daily.

About our school experience

Details

This is the perfect opportunity for you to learn all you need to know about teaching within a secondary school. Getting some classroom experience can help you to decide whether teaching is right for you and it could also strengthen your application.

Our event is designed for anyone who has a degree and is interested in initial teacher training with our partnership.

During the visit you’ll be able to talk to teachers about day-to-day school life and observe teaching in a range of lessons.
